The sound was not only shrill and harsh, but also had a tooth-aching force. Even a sleeping person will be woken up by this sound.

After a short while, Scarlet saw the door of the house open. A man in a simple sleeveless shirt and no armor walked out yawning, a spear in one hand.

"What's the matter? Is there a mouse? or is the clip loose?" the man muttered indistinctly, and then he saw the black hole in the cannon muzzle under the canopy ahead.

A girl stood there, drenched as if she had just been fished out of a pond, but her clothes were distinctly prisoner's clothing. The girl stood behind the cannon, with a musket in her hand, aimed at this side.

"Uh......" The man froze, finally understanding that this was not a delusion.

Perhaps it was because what was happening in front of him was so out of common sense that he was so surprised that he forgot about it for a moment.

Scarlet pulled the trigger, she couldn't say it was because she was nervous or something else, she had shot before she knew it. However, although the musket was an extremely easy weapon to use, it was the first time she had used it, and her accuracy was very poor. Bullets passed through the side of the guard's head, and a hot wind blew fiercely in his ears.

"Damn!" the man sat down on the floor, dropped his spear, and fled into the house with his hands and feet.

There was confusion from inside the house, and after a few moments, several people rushed out of the door. But this time, Scarlet was already holding an ignition stick close to the cannon's fire door. Everyone knows what will happen if the ignition stick is sent forward, and all the guards look at me, I look at you, hesitate and dare not act.

"What idiot actually left the gunpowder there!and who was on duty today?!" roared an officer-looking man. However, he was angry and angry, but he did not have the courage to rush forward in the face of the muzzle of the cannon. His subordinates did not dare to speak in this situation.

They couldn't move, and Scarlet just stayed still. As the minutes passed quietly, almost no one realized that the cacophony of the iron cables had long since stopped, and the darkness was fading little by little, although the rain was still heavy.

"What do you want to do? Do you think you'll be able to get away with it?" the officer finally spoke.

"Go back, or I'll shoot." Scarlet's hand holding the ignition stick seemed to shake, and all the guards couldn't help but take a half step back.

"I see, this bitch is here to hold us down, and her companion is there to open the door. "The officer has made up his mind and understands what is going on. Now the enemy has taken the initiative, they cannot attack directly. "You two. In a very soft voice, he told his men, "Go back to your room." Get out of the window, gather the others, go and kill the guard of the winch first, and lower the door. Then go around to the back of this bitch. ”

Two of his men were well-behaved and quietly retreated into the house. Now everyone has strengthened their confidence and continues the confrontation here.

The darkness of the night was now getting fading. Although the sky is still pouring rain, the sky and the sky are slowly changing day and night, getting brighter and brighter.

I had been waiting for a long time, but I didn't expect the sound of the gate closing as expected. On the contrary, the fugitive on the other side looked calm, and the officer's heart began to feel uneasy.

There was a cheer from the stab, and a group of strangers appeared in the officer's field of vision. They were dressed in patchwork armor, but they were all armed with weapons, and there were more than a hundred of them.

The officer immediately understood what he had sent his subordinates to do, and there had been no response.

"Ashrufat, what about them?" asked a man with a beard among the leading men, his companion.

"I guess I'm supposed to be here, you see, over there!"

A team also appeared in the other direction. The leader was a tall man in leather armor but no helmet, with gray hair, followed by a team that could not see the edge. However, the members of this group were unarmed, and each member wore the uniform of a prisoner.

"Eric?!" the officer recognized the gray-haired man, and he understood what was going on. "You betrayed the church, you betrayed God, you betrayed your own country!"

"I just don't want to betray my conscience!" replied Eric.

In this case, the guards knew that the general trend of the road was gone. The only thing they did was retreat into the room and close the door.

The two teams came together.

"You're the White Bear?" Bearded looked at Eric. "Either way, you're welcome to join. It was still raining heavily, but we didn't have time, and we could find this escape inside at any time. Come with us. ”

Ashrufat was the last to leave, and after making sure that there were no other scattered people around, he came to the winch. Heavy tools such as axes were needed to cut through such thick iron cables, but Ashrufat simply drew his sword. He slashed and cut the iron cable, and the iron gate, which had lost traction, immediately fell under the force of gravity, slamming into the ground with a muffled sound that made the earth vibrate.

After doing this, he rushed to the top of the city as fast as he could. It was built according to the standards of the fortress walls, both in height and thickness. Ashrufat, on the other hand, jumped from the city wall, and only supported the ground with his hand when he hit the ground because of the slippery ground.

His precautions were indeed not in vain. Just as he was hurrying to chase the team in front of him, another cavalry rushed to the gate. This time, however, they encountered a gate that had been cut off and could not be opened. Even fools can see that the fugitives have just left, and even the heavy rain has not yet washed away their footprints.

"Damn!" the officer who led the force cursed with hatred. He knew that it would take at least three to five days to repair the gate, in other words, it would be almost impossible to pursue the fugitives.

"Call me out of the guards! these bitch bastards!" he cursed, turning his anger on another group of people.

In this way, the fleeing party left without anyone chasing them, and quickly divided into several teams and moved in different directions. At noon, Ashrufat followed part of the fleeing party to a small village. The rebels were already prepared here, but in the face of thousands of fugitives, the preparations were still somewhat insufficient. People had to line up to get into their rooms, dry themselves, change their clothes, and eat while they were cooking. Half a day and a night's arduous trek had exhausted their physical strength.

Ashrufaat had priority. He quickly cleaned up and carried an umbrella to a small hut, which was the only one in the village that was relatively empty. Neil was here when Ashrufat entered.

"Well done, Ashrufat. Neil didn't know why, and there was a look of anxiety in the corners of his eyes. "You've done it well. The Baron will be pleased. ”

"Am I in the gang now?" asked Ashrufat.

"Of course. Not only are you now in the gang, but you have made such a great contribution, what reward do you want? ”

"Honestly, I want to meet Baron Pinold. Ashrufat replied. Neil chuckled a few times after he made this request, but the laughter was a little reluctant to hear.

"Well, we'll talk about it when we get back. Last, Neil replied. "Sit down and warm up with a glass of wine, the rain is really enough. ”

Ashruphat didn't refuse, but as he picked up the cup, the door opened again, and this time it was Eric who came in. He had also dried himself and changed his clothes.

"White bear. Neil said. "Looks like everything is going well. ”

"Don't call me White Bear now, call me my real name, Eric. I remember your name was Neil, and you were a subordinate of Baron Pinold...... Are you in charge of this operation?" Eric sat down as well, his face still slightly uneasy. "What are you going to do with those poor people?"

"I'm just one of those responsible. As for how to deal with it, of course, it is the same as we agreed. Neil replied. "If you want to join us, you are welcome. If you don't want to join, you can leave freely. If there is nowhere to go, then I will arrange for them to go to some of our villages. They can be ordinary people there and feed themselves with their own hands. If the church's nose sniffs it, the villagers will do their best to help them hide it. ”

These conditions, as they sound really, very generous, no, are not so much generosity as pure unprofitable good deeds. Ashrufat wondered why Pinod would make his subordinates go to such great lengths to do such a thing, buy the hearts of the people, or was there something else?

"However, even if you want to join us, you have to find a place to recuperate first. Neil turned his gaze out the window and watched the rain outside. "Anyway, just wait and see how the church reacts. ”

"By the way, what about Scarlet?" Ashrufat asked inadvertently.

"She's gone. Eric replied, "You just said goodbye to me." ”

"Gone, she's not ......"

"No, she's not anyone for me, she just made an agreement with me. Because I wasn't sure the baron would actually send a man of his power to help. I can't do this alone, I have to have a partner. Ashrufat noticed that the corners of Nick's mouth twitched unnaturally as Eric said the word "right-hand man", revealing an expression that he didn't know whether to smile bitterly or mock.

"I taught her the art of fighting, and she will assist me in the action...... Well, in fact everything is simpler than imagined. Eric replied. "Nothing was a problem. ”

"A girl like her...... What ...... for?"

"There are quite a few women in the excavation field. Do you know what it is?" said Eric. "There is some kind of curse hidden next to the holy object they excavate, or even the holy object itself, so people often die in inexplicable pain. And women are more resistant to this curse than men, usually living more than a week longer. That's why they always look for girls. ”
